Enjoy French cuisine made with Fukui ingredients at a machiya auberge.

Auberge Homachi Mikuni Minato has been selected for “The 30 Collection,” which honors outstanding experiences across Japan, as part of the tourism awards “Forbes JAPAN Destinations of the Year 2026,” hosted by the global business magazine Forbes JAPAN. Mikuni Minato is a historic port town mentioned in the Shoku Nihongi in 778. During the Edo period, it flourished as a port of call for Kitamaebune trading ships traveling between Osaka and Hokkaido. Ten traditional townhouses scattered throughout the area have been renovated into nine buildings with 16 guest rooms and a restaurant. The name “Homachi” comes from “homachi” (waiting for favorable winds), a term that also evokes the “reward” enjoyed in the era of Kitamaebune ships. The architecture features local kagura-style construction and preserves Edo-period pillars, beams, and Shakudani stone. Dining is created by Michelin-starred French chef Ken Yoshino, who crafts an original menu showcasing Fukui’s world-class ingredients such as Echizen crab—also presented to the Imperial Household—rare seafood varieties, and Wakasa beef. This is a dispersed Hotel concept: guest rooms are spread across nine buildings with a separate restaurant building, allowing you to enjoy not only your stay and meals but also the history of the town itself. Tojinbo, one of Fukui’s top sightseeing destinations, is about a 10-minute drive away.

  • The welcome drink service included options such as sake and plum juice, and the Room’s beautiful interior created a special, out-of-the-ordinary atmosphere.In particular, the breakfast was of exceptionally high quality, with some menu items that were on par with a main dish at dinner.

  • The Accommodation staff were pleasant and welcoming, and the Room was thoughtfully designed and very comfortable. I also really appreciated that the Room had been arranged just as I requested. The water provided was the same brand I regularly have delivered at home, which made me genuinely happy.The meals were outstanding.I’m a Fukui resident, but I was amazed to see local ingredients transformed into dishes like these—and everything tasted wonderful.The service was attentive and had a polished feel.The artwork on display and the plants being grown in the center added to the lovely atmosphere. The table layout also felt perfectly spaced from other guests, so it truly felt like we could enjoy a delicious meal in comfort. Overall, it left me feeling completely satisfied.People from outside the prefecture often ask me about Fukui, so lately I’ve been staying in Fukui and around Kaga to experience things for myself—and this is a place I’d like to recommend to my local friends as well.I’d love to visit the restaurant again.Thank you for such an enjoyable time.*The bath was clean as well, but I rated it “4” because it would have been even better if it were an Onsen. That said, it was more convenient than many typical Hotels—so it’s closer to a 5 than a 4. Since there are plenty of Onsen nearby, I also thought it would be nice to visit one for a day trip the next day.*
